Faster Recovery, Fewer Risks

Balloon sinuplasty is a non-invasive procedure that involves inserting a tiny balloon into the sinus passages to enlarge the blocked sinus ducts. The balloon sinuplasty procedure is an appealing alternative to traditional sinus surgery because of its quick and pain-free recovery time.Book a Consultation Now

Balloon Sinuplasty – One of our Recommended Treatments

Because balloon sinuplasty can be as effective at opening blocked sinuses as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in (FESS) appropriately selected patients, our doctors at Advanced ENT & Allergy Center offer this treatment for appropriate sinusitis patients. After performing hundreds of balloon sinuplasty procedures, our doctors have helped many patients experience freedom from their blocked sinuses symptoms using this safe and less invasive procedure.

“Great patient care from very knowledgeable staff! I had been to two other doctors about breathing trouble and they told me my nose was just dry or I had allergies. Advanced ENT listened to my concerns and after an exam diagnosed me and got me scheduled for surgery. After a quick procedure (a balloon sinuplasty) I feel great and am back to breathing easy!” – Casey B.

How Balloon Sinuplasty Works

We use a guide catheter to pass a tiny balloon into the sinus openings.

We inflate the balloon for 5-10 seconds.

The balloon enlarges the sinus openings by gently pressing them open.

We remove the balloon.

The in-office balloon sinuplasty procedure takes approximately one hour, including anesthesia, the procedure and post-anesthesia recovery.

Recovery
